Including compelling accounts of mental health issues from those involved in the agricultural sector, and a suite of Rural Minds DVDs to accompany the delivery of the workshop; tailored particularly for primary producers, their families and those who work and/or live in rural communities.

“I would just like to send a big ‘thank you’ to Tim and Rural and Remote Mental Health for their generous support and recognition at the Working Dog and Stock Handling School. I feel that the uplift to my mental health has been huge, and I will highly recommend this training to everyone.”

RRMH champions proactive and preventative initiatives for rural and remote communities. We demonstrate a commitment to practical outcomes by focusing on early intervention, the identification of problems on the horizon and the prevention of them where possible.
